Do you mean setting up your own master server?

What i mean is when starter.fps loads servers and starts severs the server isn't coming from garagegames. If a master server makes servers from my ip then thats what i need.

If you are talking about changing the Master Server where your game connects to your master server, you need to look in the server side "starter.fps/server/defaults.cs" to change the IP address.

I found this is defaults.cs $pref::Master[0] = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002"; do i change $pref::Master[0] = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002"; to my ip?

So change it to "2:127.0.0.1:28002"

Will it work better if i change the 127.0.0.1 to my ip?

Well first off, you need to set up a master server so when you change the IP it connects to your master server. But you need the IP to have the Port but I'm not sure about the 2 in front.

Since you're asking this on newbie forum I'm guessing you're not at the point where you want to do any of that..

Unless you are running a MASTER SERVER (note: *not* a dedicated server), you should not set this to your IP address. In fact you should probably set it to NULL or just ignore it.. It doesn't really do anything and is only important if you intend to distribute a dedicated server binary of your game for people to host servers of, in which case you probably want to have a number of real master servers hosted in various locations around the globe..Since you're asking this on newbie forum I'm guessing you're not at the point where you want to do any of that..

The reason why i want it to connect to me is because when my friends play my game with me it lags a lot. IS there any other fix for the lag issue?

Instead use the client to host a server or put the dedicated server on another system, the performance is TERRIBLE when you run both dedicated server and a separate client connected to it on the same system.
So it's either client or dedicated server, not both.

Yes, don't run the dedicated server on the same system as the client...Instead use the client to host a server or put the dedicated server on another system, the performance is TERRIBLE when you run both dedicated server and a separate client connected to it on the same system.
